And here it is!  Very thoughtfully, the publisher includes the
heckelphone part both in C and transposed to Bb for tenor sax.  A
quick browse through the score shows that it is not written down to
low A, and could be played on a C melody sax (or a Bb tenor
sarrusophone).

BTW, the current edition has a printing error: the parts for C and Bb
instrument switch at page 6.  Whichever part you start with, you have
to end with the other part.  The publisher says it will correct the
error in the next (soon forthcoming) edition.

Now to find an adventurous violist and pianist... ;-)

CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT:

The microtonal ensemble NEWBAND is performing works by Harry Partch
at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco on 9/23/99.  They'll be
using HP's original instruments, apparently including the Marimba
Eroica.  According to the SF Examiner, "The enormous Marimba Eroica,
individually hung Sitka spruce blocks laid over cave-like resonators
the size of a piano, emits four low tones, the lowest of which is not
audible to the human ear.  If you can't make the concert, the
instruments will be on display from 9/21-23 during regular gallery
hours.  See http://www.yerbabuenaarts.org/index.htm for info.

Enjoy!

Grant
